as much as i like gonzalez i think his age and his contract requirements would be too big, there are good tight ends in the draft and that is probably what we should do. all of this is based on whether or not the kid we drafted last year doesn't work out....

He not only cost us plays but games too. Shame..By yea we need another shockey but one that's not a head case.

I forget, but it seems TE's aren't what they used to be..I miss TE's that would punish you and could take punishment like Mark Bavaro. It's a real shame he's not in the Hall of Fame, as he was one of the best TE's of his time and got Simms out of jams.

Parcells once told Simms "When Bavaro is covered, he's open", and I only know that thanks to Simms constantly repeating that line in Madden 13.

Perhaps we should have taken him a couple of years ago when he expressed interest? Anyway it depends on what owners are attempting to accomplish. Are we trying to win another SB now, with the big game in our house, or are we in a rebuilding mode for the future...a youth movement?

Also, Tony has said the only reason he would come back would be to win a ring. This is not about the money. The guy really wants to go out a champion. I really respect his character and his commitment to the game. He is a New York Giant kind of guy but you guys are probably right it's too late in his career now for such a move.
